Gwen Stefani went to the beach in Marina del Rey yesterday with her sons and No Doubt bandmates. The group got together for a seaside bash, and Gwen even arrived with presents in hand. Gwen wore heels to escort kids Zuma Rossdale and Kingston Rossdale to a party, where they let loose swimming, running, and playing on a jungle gym. Zuma and Kingston weren't the only kids there — Gwen's No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal brought his young daughter, Coco, too! Gwen and her band are gearing up for the September release of their new album. The first single, however, will be out in July.

Gwen and her husband Gavin Rossdale have both thrown themselves back into music, with him touring the world for the last few months with Bush. The next six weeks will see him do shows closer to home around North America. He broke from concerts to celebrate London's Chelsea Football Club's Saturday win in the European Champions soccer league. He tweeted, "fantastic win for Chelsea — For London — for England. The gods were on their side!"

Gwen and Tony should be careful. As a Marina Del Rey resident, I can tell you the water at that particular beach is extremely polluted (local authorities and businesses are obviously reluctant to admit that). Luckily, both of them have sufficient means to provide their children with the healthcare often required in the days following visits there.
